As usual Moonie - a vulgar attempt at humour that is offensive on multiple levels   I shall report you to the good doctor , who I am sure, will give you a jolly good flogging.

Good god man!!! Pull yourself together while you still can. Malbecs ! Merlots!!! At least you didn't stoop to Sangiovese! No wonder you got stitched up with guava paste. Stick to a good Aussie Shiraz from  S A or central Vic. 

I'm twice the man for it.

Your avatar makes you look four times a man, BBO.

What may I ask is wrong with a nice cab-merlot.

My god there are wine-nazis here 

Some shifty Shiraz swillers no doubt. Probably use jam jars too

Some of the best grappa I ever tasted was from a jam jar.

And after it stripped my tonsils out I had a handy place to store them.

Used to use the old Allowrie jamjars in younger days when imbibing a port from the 'magic' cask (16L of pure ongong joy )

But Shiraz out of one.!!!!

Two bottles of decent Shiraz per day is a far better health option Earl. Also, spend more time with the servants- calories a plenty can be burned off exercising with the maids.

Thanks for you advice Uncle B and sorry for the late reply. I prepared a tasty, nutritious meal on Monday night, a lightly grilled fillet of lean kangaroo leg with a small quinoa salad washed down with two bottles of Paul Osicka Shiraz 2012 as you recommended. Well I seemed to have missed Tuesday somewhere? I remember not feeling well, obviously something dodgey with the salad and decided to go to bed but I woke up face down in the bathroom and a check in on my mobile showed it was Wednesday? I think I need to re-evaluate the fitness advice I have received here on DL. Wellbeing programs need to be individually tailored I suspect.

Apparently the reversing beeps went on for safety. Would be hard to tell the front end from the rear with him.

Fire away with your questions for @stkildafc young gun Tom Curran or @melbournefc starlet Christian Salem.

 

 

I never realized Christian Salem was an aspiring young actress.  Thanks for letting us know, AFL.

Reliable, yes, but our Singaporean friends have surrounded the administration of the rattan – as with everything else on that all too orderly island – with far too much bureaucracy. 

We are more simple folk here, given to more simple country pleasures. While it's true – as you yourself noticed during your recent visit to Queensland – that we in the north treat our bananas as if they were members of the House of Lords, trussing them up in plastic bags, in most other pursuits we are inclined to the most direct route. I had meant to say much the same thing to that Moonshadow chap after his pleas for the use of the cat. Given the association of that implement in the popular imagination with rum and some other unmentionable maritime activity, it seems just a little too complicated for me.

Bamboo canes are readily available here since various local fools have taken to planting them as windbreaks. The Hopping Dicks BDSM group assures me that they are no less effective than any other method and have the advantage of assisting in environmental control.

My father, who was the president of the local ' under the bridge wine appreciation society' loved a cheeky red but he demurred imbibing from a glass jar..  He did have standards to maintain. Much of what I know I learned at his knee.

Sadly there are a few idiots in the world DF

Most seem to support Essendrug and Collingwood so that probably says it all.

I have some very sad news about thepassing of an Demonland Poster.

I know you all will miss Bossdog.

But there is nowhere for him to hide after making such a negative statement about bananas.

Biff the problem is he lets go with one hand and then quickly grips with the other. A change is as good as a holiday.
